HANOVER, N.H. — Hazel West Day Heald, 86, of Conway, N.H., passed away peacefully after a long illness on Tuesday, Aug. 1, 2017 at Hanover Terrace in Hanover, N.H.

She was born on Feb. 12, 1931, in Fryeburg, a daughter of William A. and Elsie (Sawyer) Day. She attended local schools, graduating from Fryeburg Academy and spending the majority of her adult life in Conway, N.H.

She married Glen Thibodeau in 1951 and raised three children. She later married Phillip Heald in 1970 with whom she shared her passion for dancing and traveling to wherever there was a Saturday night dance. She loved spending time sledding in the winter, summer cookouts and celebrating birthdays and holidays with her family. She also enjoyed traveling around various parts of the country and snuggling with her kitty, “Raskel.” The close bond with her brother and sisters and their families throughout her life meant a great deal to her.
